Weight Loss/Maintenance
In reply to the discussion: Dukan Diet/Day 2. Anyone have success with this? [View all]PassingFair
(22,437 posts)You and I are both trying to lose about the same amount!
The Dukan true weight has me at 11 lbs more than I'm personally shooting for.
So I'm going for a 65 lb. total loss....as I said yesterday, 48 to go!
The water drinking hasn't been a problem for me (so far)...
I'm drinking Perrier with a hit of various Mio zero calorie flavor shots.
Although I used to be addicted to Diet Coke, I prefer fruit flavoring
now...probably to satisfy unconscious cravings for sugary, carby FRUIT.
I used that enormous head of cauliflower to make "soup"...found a recipe
on line that used just onion, cauliflower and stock. I added celery for flavor.
Not a perfect soup! The directions said that I should add water "to cover".
That's what I did, but I think my celery addition caused it to be too watery
after I blended it together. Think thin gruel instead of creamy goodness...
Oh well, it tasted great and it filled me up. I had two mugs before dinner
and hardly ate any of my tomato and green pepper salad.
I have a LOT left over for tomorrow, as the family turned their noses up in disdain!
On edit: I'm so glad you're here with me, Flor... I spent a lot of time at the beginning
of this diet reading blogs and posts detailing successful and not-so-successful "journeys".
I wanted to keep a casual log and have a little feedback...
My absolute favorite is a guy who blogged throughout the diet for "How Things Work".
